Reportedly there is a caravan of people headed towards the
United States of America. The people in
the caravan have left their land of origin to seek a better life for themselves
and/or their family. Hundreds of years ago, Europeans also left their homeland
in caravans, venturing across the ocean that separated Europe from the new
world. The Europeans destination also
was the land currently called, the United States of America.
Today, awaiting the caravan is an organized United States
government that has no plans to openly welcome those in the caravan or to give
them shelter or asylum. What kind of reception
did the Europeans receive when they arrived in what is now the United
States? Awaiting them was a land
inhabited by Native American people.
Although there may have been some resistance by the Native Americans to
the incoming Europeans arriving on their shores, for the most part there was no
concerted effort to keep the invading Europeans out.
So what is the difference between that era and today’s
era? The ancestors of those first
arriving Europeans will not admit it, but some of the current European
Americans may not want to share the resources of the United States with people
coming into the country. It is ironic
that those people coming are seeking the same things as the first boat caravans
of Europeans who arrived here those hundreds of years ago.
Imagine if Native Americans had the weaponry and organized
resources to keep the Europeans out?
Those Europeans would not have settled in this land and would not have
needed to resort to importing slaves to perform the hard work the Europeans did
not want to do themselves. No European
arrival, no slave trade. No destruction of families in the continent of Africa.
Some would try to say keeping “immigrants” out of the United
States unless they “legally” enter is for the protection of the citizens of the
United States of America. Did anyone
ever call the invading Europeans “illegals” when they settled into what is now
the United States. Let’s just say what
this policy is. It is purely
selfishness. European Americans
understand how they have come to economic power in the United States. Basically European Americans entered a
country where other people were already present. To build up the new land in
the image they desired, European Americans purposely devised a system of
slavery to force others to do the hard work they were unwilling to do.
European Americans are not willing to share the resources of
the United States with those who want to come here to better themselves. It’s a “I’ve got mine”, “you get yours
somewhere else” mentality. European
Americans know through the history they have written. Because they came to this land to steal land
from others, wipe out the existing civilization, and only focus on self
preservation, European Americans fear they too will face the same fate as the
Native American culture they obliterated.
Don’t be fooled by talk that immigration policies are
intended to keep the citizens of the United States safe. More people are being killed by domestic
terrorism than any threat by immigrants.
Fear is a powerful force. You are
being misled into fearing immigrants.
Selfish motives are behind those who push the fear onto you. Many of those who are pushing the fear are descendants
of those original caravans of Europeans who have economically prospered over
the years and who are now enjoying the resources of the United States. They do not want competition from an influx of
people who they see as a threat. They
know what happened to the Native Americans when caravans of European Americans
came to this land.
